Accidentally dressed as an empress

Yunxiu offered to work with Lu Bing to improve the iron industry in Wufeng City. This wasn't for personal gain, but simply for their time together and because she admired Lu Bing as a person.

The two hit it off and began to formulate a series of measures.

First, Lu Bing decided to reorganize the blacksmith team under the jurisdiction of the Lu family, clear out those who were disloyal and dishonest, and reward the old craftsmen who had worked diligently for more than ten years.

Secondly, according to the suggestions made by His Highness, we will carry out quality management and multiple reviews to ensure that every piece of ironware undergoes strict testing, and have the craftsmen sign each piece of ironware for traceability.

Third, the government will establish a reporting system to encourage the people to actively report the counterfeiting of ironware. Once verified, they will be rewarded handsomely.

With Yunxiu's help, the ironware manufacturing industry in Wufeng City gradually regained its former prosperity.

Lu Bing finished making the meteorite sword, and Yun Xiu went to get it in person. Lu Bing insisted on not taking the wages, and Yun Xiu stopped pushing him away.

On the day Yunxiu was about to leave, Lu Xuan actually returned to Wufeng City.

She came to the official post station in a rage to find Ren Li, and Ren Li hurriedly hid behind Yunxiu.

Lu Xuan had a shrewd and fierce look on her face, and she came over aggressively. Yun Xiu thought she was looking for trouble, so she said to her, "We can talk it over."

Who knew Lu Xuan would open his arms and swoop down like an eagle, catching the dodging Ren Li. "Sister Ren, you are my real sister! I will follow you from now on!"

Ren Li looked stunned.

Lu Xuan shouted to Yun Xiu, "Your Highness! I don't want any of the 49% of the shares in the Silver Foundry!"

That little look, and still very proud. The black lines on Yunxiu's face were about to turn into reality.

Lu Xuan was being harmed by the money-spending system, and now she treated money like a hot potato. If she didn't spend it, it would burn her hands if she held onto it.

Lu Xuan looked at Yun Xiu's wonderful expression and smiled secretly.

Ren Li suppressed his laughter and said, "Congratulations, you've lost again."

Lu Xuan pulled Ren Li over, and the two of them walked aside, arm in arm, whispering to each other. Lu Xuan said, "You don't know, even Governor Xie was stunned by me."

Lu Xuan punched Ren Li's thin shoulder. "Mine is clearly a waste system. At the beginning, the silver foundry produced silver every day, and I made money every day, but my waste quota was negative, and I was fined every day. It made me feel so miserable. Don't even mention it."

Ren Li smiled bitterly. This unfortunate child, didn't she realize that she had fooled her in the beginning? Lu Xuan was completely unaware and even thanked Ren Li warmly, "Thanks to Sister Ren, you gave me a new idea!"

Ren Li gave a knowing smile, "And then, you staged a desperate counterattack and turned defeat into victory, ruining the family and causing great loss?"

"That's right. I don't want any of the shares in the Silver Foundry anymore. I gave them all to the government. The silversmiths are now under the control of the court. I lost a large sum of money all at once, and the system gave me a reward for the first time."

Ren Li asked: "What good things were rewarded?"

Lu Xuan's tail was about to lift up, "Waiver of punishment once."

That's it?

Ren Li patted her shoulder encouragingly and said, "Young man, follow your sister and work hard. I have the resources, and you have the money and connections. Let's continue to promote this model."

This model, of course, makes Ren Li a ton of money. In society, I'm Sister Ren, and I'm not afraid to cheat people without leaving any bones.

Yunxiu simply went along with them.

Lu Xuan was planning to follow Ren Li when suddenly, a furious shout came from outside the yard, "Lu Xuan, you prodigal daughter! Get here!"

Lu Zhen rushed into the inn. She was so angry that her face flushed red, her nostrils flared, her eyes bulged, and she held a wooden stick as thick as a cup in her hand and yelled, "I'll beat you to death, you prodigal daughter. My Lu family fortune will all be lost in your hands!"

Lu Bing followed behind, "Second sister, it's okay for you to spend more on your usual pocket money, but this time, you really got into big trouble. I can't persuade mother."

Lu Zhen swung the wooden stick so hard that it made a whistling sound. Lu Xuan jumped up and down in the yard, but was still hit by the stick. "Ah! Help me, Your Highness, save me! Take me away!"

Lu Zhen hit Lu Xuan with a stick, and she fell to the ground, groaning in pain and begging for mercy: "Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Lu Xuan quickly admitted her mistake. Lu Zhen looked at her with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Lu Xuan was severely beaten by Lu Zhen, and he kept wailing and screaming.

Lu Xuan lowered her brows and eyes, thinking angrily, she made a mistake, but she would dare to do it again next time. There was no other way, her mission was to ruin the family.

Yunxiu spoke up for Lu Xuan, "The court will remember Second Miss Lu's generosity."

A blessing in disguise. Although it may ruin your family, it can save your life.

Your Majesty has already wanted to punish the Lu family and take back their power. The Lu family themselves are willing to donate their property to the court. This is a good thing.

As soon as Yunxiu said this, Lu Zhen's expression changed and he put away his stick. "Your Highness, my second daughter wants to follow you. Can you accept her?"

"Since she has acknowledged Ren Li as her sworn sister, she can naturally follow me." Yun Xiu said with a smile.

Lu Zhen bowed and said, "Then I'll trouble Your Highness to help discipline him."

Yunxiu readily agreed and let Ren Li take care of her younger brother's younger brother.

Gu Qian had already sent someone to escort Xu Lian, Qiu Ping, and the others back to Lingyun City, and had sent a letter back explaining what had happened. The garrison reported that they had also found a large amount of grain in the Qiu family's warehouse, and Gu Qian recorded this in his report.

The position of prefect of Wufeng City was vacant. Before the new prefect took office, Gu Qian stayed. Yun Xiu also left half of the garrison troops to Gu Qian to control the situation in Wufeng City.

Yunxiu and his group left Wufeng City and headed southwest to the Xiling military camp. As soon as they sent Lin Ziqi to his destination, Yunxiu would rush to Yunyin City to provide disaster relief.

The troops were divided into two groups. Ren Li planned to go to various cities to do business. In each city, people from the Supervisory Office had already come to inspect.

In order to save time, Yunxiu led his men to avoid big cities, take small paths, stay away from human habitation, and walk in the deep mountains and forests.
